Geometry by Discovery by David Gay

From the Publisher

Designed for use within a junior/senior level geometry course, the topics covered in this text will enable the student to enhance their geometric skills, solve problems with a variety of old and new techniques (constructing models, conjectures, guessing, drawing pictures, etc.) and see how mathematical ideas are connected (similar solutions to solve different problems). Each chapter provides exercises, notes and a list of references for further reading.

Intended for a junior/senior level topics in geometry course, this textbook assumes two semesters of calculus and a semester of semi-rigorous linear algebra. The author's approach taps the pedagogical value of discovery to help students stretch their geometric perspective and hone their geometric intuition. It actively engages students in solving mathematical problems, and empowers them to be successful problem-solvers and discoverers of mathematical ideas.
